Editorial: Farmers urged to pursue efficiency in 1962
The editorial notes that farmers across Louisiana and 49 states began 1962 aiming to farm more efficiently than in 1941, boosting yields per acre and per animal unit. It argues efficiency pays in any industry and cites a private sector expert warning that without increased farming productivity by 1975, the U.S. would need 200 million more acres, risking shortages if population grows.
